Michael Bolton has Dec. 6 show at St. Petersburg's Mahaffey Theater

If Michael Bolton is smart, he'll open his upcoming concert at the Mahaffey Theater with Jack Sparrow, he'll close with it, and he'll pepper it in a few times throughout the rest of the evening. Sure, Bolton has sold more than 53 million records in his career thanks to hits like Said I Loved You … But I Lied, How Can We Be Lovers and How Am I Supposed To Live Without You. But it is Jack Sparrow, his Emmy-nominated Pirates of the Caribbean-themed collaboration with the Lonely Island, that made him a viral star in 2012. Bolton is insanely wealthy; now that Andy Samberg's no longer on Saturday Night Live, can't he afford to bring the Lonely Island on tour? Tickets to Bolton's Dec. 6 concert are $45-$65, and they'll go on sale Friday. — Jay Cridlin, Times staff writer
